Christian literature is always glad to re-
ceive book of Professor Fishers An i'm
portant addition has been made to his volu-
minous writings in 'The History of the
Christian Church." It is a volume giving in
small compass the most important facts of
church history. Unlike most works of the
kind, it makes the attempt to exhibit fully
the relations of the history of Christianity
and of the church to contemporaneous histo-
ry with compressed though full survey of
the history of theological doctrine. The
book is for general readers, and being such
one of its best features is the absence of ex-
tended discussions in reference to perplexed
questions. The author seeks the facts and
gives them. in his mastery way, and in Chris
tian sympathy and with earnest Christian
spirit. The book will be valuable aid in
the study of church history either in itself or
companion to the larger works. Charles
Scribner's Sons, publishers, New York. For
